## Overview
OH, a potato! is a meal planning app designed to reduce food waste by flipping traditional meal planning on its head. Instead of choosing recipes first and shopping around them, it starts with ingredients already in your fridge and pantry, suggesting meals based on what you have while optimizing leftovers. The app learns from your cooking and shopping habits over time to minimize waste.

The tool is built for households that care about reducing food waste but find standard meal planners impractical. Unlike conventional apps that assume perfect organization and planning, OH, a potato! adapts to real-life routines, changing preferences, and schedule disruptions. Users get a personal cash and climate dashboard tracking savings up to €1000 per year and CO₂ impact with every meal.

One limitation is that the tool requires a behavioral shift—it works best when users actively engage with their inventory and cooking patterns, which may feel like additional effort initially despite being designed to feel effortless.
